The reason why you cry is because when you think of something sad,your eyes become watery.The water in your eyes is actually mixed with mucus and sea water.
The correct spelling is "mucus."
This really isn't done anymore. However, it was done in the past because it was a way to drain fluid from the lungs. By giving the baby a "smack" it would shock the newborn into crying thus clearing the mucus out the lungs. Today, doctors will use a device with a suction to help clear the throat and lungs instead of slapping.
The word "mucus" is used with mucus membrane; mucus membrane secretes mucous.

The liquid in your tear ducts are coming out of your eyes, so they empty, allowing the snot in your nose to come out. Gross, but logical. As the mucin is released and soaks up water it can expand up to 600 times, which is potentially a lot of snot! Indeed, it is estimated that a healthy nose will pump out more than a pint of mucus a day, although the amount can vary enormously; for example when you cry most of your tears will run into the nose and mix with the mucus, increasing its volume. " Not all of the tears when you cry run down your face. Some stay in your mucus membranes and mix with your mucus, causing it to get runny. we have lacrimal gland in our eyes. so when we cry the lacrymal secretion increases , moreover the lacrimal gland has the connection to our nasal passage. when we cry the lacrimal secreation enters into nasal passage. and so we got runny nose and stuffy when we cry your sinuses are activated and irritated as more mucous is formed.. eyes, ears, noses and throats are all linked?
